Project Details
The smart necklace where you to record, feel and keep heartbeats. Feel your loved one's heartbeat forever.
Stay connected to your family and loved ones in the most beautiful way, by feeling their presence and holding their memory close. The Heart is a smart, wireless, wearable device which is capable of recording a user’s heart rhythm and then sending the heartbeat to another device, which is reproduced using haptics. Users can share moments of emotional intensity over long distances, and heartbeats can be stored for safe-keeping on paired devices.

Design Development
As an item of jewellery, the Bond Heart needed to capture a luxurious feel; As part of this work, we explored using precious metals for the accessory bands, including DLC coated titanium and Italian crafted solid gold bands. The core of the device which houses the internal components is protected by a forged ceramic outer shell which has a cool feeling to touch, with excellent hardness protection.
